PSA: These Are the Best Job Search Sites for Landing Your Dream Role

Between updating your résumé to writing custom cover letters for each position you apply to, searching for a new job is a daunting task. If just the thought of updating your LinkedIn profile sounds stressful, don't panic. We've done the heavy lifting and identified the best job search sites so you can simply start looking for your dream job stat.

According to a recent Gallup poll, over 70% of Americans are unhappy at work. "Most millennials are coming to work with great enthusiasm, but the old management practices—forms, gaps, and annual reviews—grinds the life out of them," writes Jim Clifton, chairman and CEO of Gallup, in the report. "They want meaningful work and to stay with an organization that helps them grow and develop."

Consider yourself among the majority of Americans who are disengaged and dissatisfied at work? Maybe it's finally time to make a change. Keep scrolling to discover the best job search sites for landing your dream role. (Trust us, if you bookmark these job search sites, you probably don't need a career coach.)

LinkedIn

Given that you're looking for a job in the 21st century, we probably don't have to tell you that LinkedIn is an invaluable career tool. While the site is best known as a networking tool, it's also one of the best job search sites on the web, allowing companies to post job descriptions and potential candidates to apply to those jobs quickly and easily. If you're actively seeking a new position, splurge on the premium subscription to make the most of it.

ZipRecruiter

If you're an avid podcast listener, odds are you've heard an advertisement for this relatively new job search site. Boasting an "apply with one click" feature, ZipRecruiter is arguably the easiest-to-use job search site around. Plus, the platform will alert you with a notification every step of the way, from when your application has been viewed to when your salary request has been received by the hiring manager.

Glassdoor

Featuring reviews of over 600,000 companies, Glassdoor is a different type of job search site that gives you an inside look into the companies you're thinking about applying to. Scroll through reviews written by current and former employees to get a sense of the company's culture and the team's morale before deciding a role is right for you. Don't miss the site's "Know Your Worth" salary calculator that'll help you determine if you're being compensated fairly.

Indeed

If you love the ease of flight search engines that aggregate all the lowest fares in one place (like Kayak), then you'll love the job search engine Indeed. It conveniently gathers job postings from thousands of websites so you can search for a job without having to visit every site individually. Not only can you search a vast library of listings, but you can also sign up for email alerts so you're notified whenever a new opportunity is added.

Simply Hired

Similar to Indeed, Simply Hired is a job search engine that gathers thousands of job postings from sites all over the web in one convenient place. Be sure to use the site's salary calculator to ensure you know what you're worth as you search for a new opportunity. Connect your LinkedIn account with your Simply Hired profile to get the most out of the platform.
